PAYDAY 2 — PAYDAY 2: Update 246 Changelog release notes

Drop in heisters!

Time to pan fry some bacon. This update includes the whole new PUBG Weapons Pack for FREE, bringing you the iconic Frying Pan and Flare Gun from the Battlegrounds!

The update also includes fixes and adjustments to items from the previously released Espionage Weapon Pack. We have gotten a lot of feedback and are happy that you liked our offerings. It's clear that the Ballerina was the weakest link in the pack, so based on your suggestions it has been given some improvements!

Heists

Firestarter

Couple of updates ago, we removed an oversight that allowed you to jump the fence and be able to complete most the heist without much of a challenge. A lot of players weren't happy with this change and while we don't want to bring the exploit back, we tried to make the existing stealth a bit less unfair as a compromise.

Airport (Day 1)
Alerted gangsters no longer cause the heist to go loud automatically, instead it is triggered by loud gunfire
Added a security room spawn
Added a 10% stealth completion bonus
Added bodybags asset
Added glow to some existing lights
Made some of the dumpsters openable
Fixed navigation issues with the large gates when they are shot open

Nightclub

Cameras no longer spawn as titan variants on higher difficulties
The random chance for titan cameras made the map undesirable to play and players kept restarting until they didnt spawn.

Counterfeit

Fixed the unlimited ink equipment pickups being consumed on pickup

Slaughter House

Set the default cosmetic set to the "Legacy Tactical" suit when no default suits are applied

Green Bridge

Added vision blockers to the under-side of the bridge to prevent enemies shooting players through the floors

Framing Frame

Art Gallery (Day 1)
Fixed a background building that was in the middle of the road near the van
Fixed a laser emitter looking the wrong way.

Reservoir Dogs

Highland Mortuary (Day 1 2)
Added missing collision to some electrical boxes

Heat Street

Fixed the collision on the stairs after reaching the second half of the heist

Brooklyn 10-10

Fixed the collisions on some stairs in the finale area

GO Bank

Potentially fixed a rare instance where cage no location is picked, softlocking the heist

Updates may be incompatible with the mods you may have installed. Even seemingly unrelated mods may cause unexpected issues. If you are experiencing any problems with the game; try removing any mods you may have installed and try again.

If you are having issues with an unmodded game you can try to verify the integrity of the game files. In the Steam library; right-click on PAYDAY 2. Select "Properties" from the menu. Under the tab "LOCAL FILES" select "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES...". The process may take some time to finish.
